There’s always something invigorating about making an enemies list. From yesterday’s NYT review of Pat Buchanan’s book:

The former presidential candidate and longtime journalist has a mission, of course. He wants to marshal this glorious past against ”impersonators” in and close to the Bush administration who have ”hijacked” his movement. His enemies list of neoconservatives has unsurprising names: Paul Wolfowitz, Richard Perle, Irving and William Kristol, Charles Krauthammer and Jonah Goldberg. He detests them most of all for promoting the invasion of Iraq, for arrogantly believing it would spark a democratic revolution throughout the Middle East. But the self-described populist conservative is still fighting a war against un-Christian cultural elites. And he charges most of the same neoconservatives with abetting the godless enemy on nearly every major issue — from gay marriage to abortion to immigration. To save the nation, the right must be cleansed.
